LEADERSHIP In THE HOUSE.
The Republicans Will Have Decided
Advantage in the Fittieth Congress.
The Unqualified Recognition Given Mr.. Reed
in the las iIouse-PossibIe Promotion of
John S. y Capital Notes.
Party LEADERSHIP.

The Republicans win Have Things Their
own Way in the Next House.
specai 10 The INDIANAPOLIS journal.
WAsHrSGToS, March s.-The Star this morn
in. publishes the following reflections OF q Con-
gresham on Democratic and Republican leader
ship in the next House:
''The next House will he a mere plaything in
the hands of the Republican leaders" said a
Democratic meI,,b Der OF Congress, AS he sat al
most alone in The deserted hall of the House,
looking over the empty seats about him. "Good-
ness knows this house WAS bad enough In AL
conscience. Everything went to the had, as far
IA the party was concerned. for want of a leader.
But the Fiftieth Congress will come in with two
thirds OF the Democrats new men, and am told
by some Of my colleagues who have studied its
composition carefully since the election that the
personnel is weak There have been some few of
the old members of former years. who have been
out for time, returned. There is Buckalew,
and there may be few other experienced men.
but the great mass of the mem bers-elect are
utterly new, without experience reputation.
The party promises to be weakened, even be-
yond its present condition. Unless some one
develops very suddenly as leader Tom Reed
will make a toy of the party and twist it into
all sorts of shanes for the amusement of the
pablo. In this matter Of leadership the Repub-
licans stood in bold contrast with the Democrats
in the House that has just worn out its exist
ence. No man could have got more unqualified
recognition as leader than did Mr.. Reed
When Congress began there was n sharp con-
troversy between him and Mr.. Hiscock for the
leadership, and then came Long, Butterworth,
Burrows and Cannon in sharp rivalry for the
same distinction. For while all these men would
jump to their feet at once when there WAS call
for defense of their party, or declaration of
party policy. Reed would rise in his place. His
cock would jump up behind him, and the rest
would each walk down his aisle TO the front, but
Reed had such away of shouldering everybody
else aside and planting himself in square def
ance of the majority of the House that every
BODY else looked small beside him; and besides,
he had faculty of talking back not possessed
Congress nobody disputed his right to rule the
rest Even the Democrats got that they
would not attempt to take him from the floor.
If he did not abuse them 80, l should expect,
next thing, to the Democrats following him.
But. more seriously, there is no prospect of our
having a leader who meet him the floor. !"

National Bank Reserve cities.

WASHINGTON March S.--The Comptrolle. Of
the Currency, to-day received a certified copy of
the Act of Congress providing for the establish
ment of reserve cities, and at once prepared
regulations for its execution. Under the regu-
lations applications may be made to the
Comptroller for his approval in each case in
which it is desired to take advantage of the new
law. The principal requirement is that these
applications shall come from the directors of the
banks interested and not from the presidents
or cashiers. Notice has already been given
that application will be made for the designa-
ton OF Chicago as a central reserve city, and
of Kansas City as reserve city under the pro-
visions of the new law.

One Effect of the Chicago Strikes.

CHICAGO March 8.-The winter hog packing
season. which lasts about one hundred working
days in Chicago, closed on the last day of Feb
ruary. While Cincinnati, ST. Louis Kansas
City and other packing centers of the West
turned out an increased product, Chicago ran
behind, the shortage, as against last season, be-
ing. in round numbers. 700, 900 hogs. The cause
of the shortage was, it is stated, the great strike
at the stockyards and its direct and indirect
effect upon the business of the packers and the
Chicago market. A local paper, computing the
number of men idle aud wages lost account
of this shortage, says it is evident that a short
age of TOO 600 hogs this season means loss of
500, coo in wages, and that at least 5000 men,
skilled and unskied. who were employed last
season, failed to find work.

The next weakest Dem ocratic President we ever
had was Buchanan, and had it not been for the
death of Postmaster general Brown, in 1859, he,
too, would have succeeded in keeping his Cabi-

three months when the Rebellion was brewing
and FIVE of them seeded or resigned.

1t turns out that the cause of the failure of
the deficiency bill was breakfast. The House
conferees, worn out with their all-night wrestle
with items and estimates, went into the restau
rant to refresh their inner selves at o'clock on
Friday morning. At 913 their orders were put
before them. This allowed just two minutes for
the repast, as they had agreed to meet the Sen
ate conferees again at 9:15. 1t was 10 before the
conference began. That interval of forty-ive
minutes, if saved, would have been enough for
